Community Action in Pike County Ohio
Pike County Ohio is a small county when compared to most. There are 25,000 people and 8,900 households in Pike County. People assume that in America in 2005 that most Americans live pretty well and do not have to worry about having the necessities of life. Such as food on the table, medicine, gas to go to work or heat in the winter, but this assumption is wrong as anyone who works or volunteers at Pike County Community Action Committee will tell you.
I called and talked to Annya Thompson she has been working for C.A.C for over 19 years. She does so much to try and help the needy families in Pike County. She told me "The need for the assistance programs they offer is becoming greater each year, and the funding that is available isn't even close to covering the needs. Some programs get no goverment grants at all."
The Community Action Committee Social Services Department in Pike County Ohio helps Pike County Families with food, housing, gas, and medicine. In the past year alone C.A.C has seen the need for food alone rise by 100%. They are helping on average 430-565 family's a month. The funds to cover the expense comes from employee donations, Fema and The Run for Shelter fund raiser typically held the 3rd week of July each year.

The Shawnee Indians of Ohio
The Shawnee Indians were a friendly and brave tribe. A male child born to a Shawnee was given a name within ten days. A female child was named within twelve days. The name was either bestowed by a parent or by some trusted friend of the family, called a "conferrer". An "unsoma", or social classification usually determined by the clan into which one was born or adopted, was a chief consideration when the child was named.
The Shawnee Indians were living in the Ohio Valley as early as the late 1600s. The Iroquois Indians were unwilling to share these rich hunting grounds and drove the Shawnees away. Some went to Illinois; others went to Pennsylvania, Maryland or Georgia. As the power of the Iroquois weakened, the Shawnee Indians moved back into Ohio from the south and the east. They settled in the lower Scioto River valley.
The Shawnees spoke one of the languages of the Algonquian Indians, and so they are related to the Delaware and Ottawa Indians.The Shawnee Indians were allies of the French until British traders moved into the Ohio Country in 1740. The French pushed the British out of Ohio and the Shawnees became allies of the French again until the British victory in the French & Indian War . As French trading posts turned into British forts, the Ohio Indians, including the Shawnees, fought the British and their colonists. Cornstalk led the Shawnees against British colonists during Lord Dunmore's War in the early 1770s. During the American Revolution the Shawnees fought alongside the British against the colonists. The Shawnees believed that England would prevent the colonists from encroaching further upon the natives' land. After the war the Indians continued to fight the Americans.
The Shawnees were fierce warriors. They were among the most feared and respected of Ohio's Indians. Tecumseh was their most famous chief.
General Anthony Wayne defeated the Shawnees and other Ohio Indians at the Battle of Fallen Timbers in 1794. The Shawnees surrendered most of their lands in Ohio with the signing of the Treaty of Greenville

A Guide to Filing Bankruptcy in Ohio
Should a person file bankruptcy? This a personal decision greatly influenced by the amount of serious debt and your ability to meet the original payments or pay the full amount. Being hassled by creditors when you are broke is nerve wracking for starters. Secondly, the decision to file should not be made solely to stop demanding creditors. Though filing temporarily stops creditors from engaging in out-and-out enforcement lawsuits, secured creditors can apply for "relief from the stay" and then continue their efforts to repossess or foreclose. Furthermore certain kinds of debts among them, student loans, alimony and support obligations, drunken driving restitution, and debts incurred through fraud can't be discharged in bankruptcy.
Depending on your circumstances, bankruptcy may or may not make sense for you. If after the bankruptcy you will be no better off than you were before, why do it? The decision as to whether and when to file a bankruptcy petition should be based upon the facts of your individual case.
New bankruptcy laws are expected to limit the value of the homestead exemptions. Also, new Ch. 7 restrictions will prevent anyone earning over the state median income from filing, Ch. 13 payments will be increased, and judges will lose judicial discretion imposing mandatory sanctions upon debtors in many new circumstances. These new laws narrowly missed passage each year since 2001, and may become effective at any time. Now, more than ever, timing and planning are critical.
Most Ohio bankruptcy attorneys who special in consumer/debtor cases offer free initial consultations. Virtually all private attorneys welcome opportunities to meet qualified potential clients. After debtors become familiar with current requirements, initial consultations offer an excellent opportunity to explore options and receive free legal advice, before deciding upon any course of action. If you have considered filing, make a detailed list of questions. Meet with several lawyers. By comparing costs, benefits and options without obligation, your most profitable path will become clear.
